...postwar College, and punctured most of the stuffy heritage (and too many of the civilized and gentle men) that always had marked this school. It was probably the shortest lived important era in the College's history. By 1973, the blister had burst, the swelling gone down, the fever broken. William Mattin '72, "I seem to recall another building occupation what was largely ignored during my senior year, but by my graduation in 1972, the seventies, for better or worse, had begun." WHICH brings us to the present, to the era that includes the class of 1982. Oddly, since...
...parents hesitate to administer aspirin when their child has a fever. Yet, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the practice could be dangerous. The academy issued a warning last week advising its 24,000 members that aspirin should not be given to children suffering from influenza or chicken pox. Aspirin and related compounds have been statistically linked to a deadly ailment that strikes 600 to 1,200 American children a year. Reye's syndrome follows in the wake of viral illnesses, causing vomiting and high fevers and, in about a quarter of the cases, coma and death...
Stallone's performance in Rocky resembled John Travolta's in Saturday Night-Fever. The Italian Stallion and the Italian With-The-Blow-Dried-Hair faithfully pursued their respective goals.

As clusters of the faithful were doing in living rooms and the classier pubs across the country, the WJM team had assembled to lament the untimely passing of some fine old friends: Louie De Palma, Doctor Johnny Fever, Detective Harris, Mork from Ork. With a few swipes of TV executives' pens, four of the best comedy series of the late 1970s-Taxi, WKRP in Cincinnati, Barney Miller, Mork & Mindy-had been erased from the prime-time schedule. Their ghosts would haunt reruns, but the message seemed clear...
...tiny, not very successful radio station whose employees were never quite resourceful or ruthless enough to be No. 1. I always thought of them as human Muppets. Dynel Andy and soft, squeezable Mr. Carlson tried to keep their charges in order. But Venus Flytrap and Johnny Fever, the disc jockeys, were too weird, and Les Nessman too straight, and Bailey too nice-a little like you, Mary-and Herb Tarlek too wonderfully oafish to realize he'd never make the big score. And the lovely Jennifer...
